Winmau Blade 5 and Blade 6 Bristle Dartboards

Its an all around great dartboard.. Price seems to be going down.. I will buy another one.. Just buy it.

Got this dartboard the other day. Despite the few bad reviews saying that the board they received was messed up etc.. I went with the good ones and ordered it. Looks like I won the gamble because I couldn’t be happier with this board. Not a single blemish. Mounting was super easy and it looks extremely good and professional. I’d recommend this board to anyone

Amazing board for a great price. It has some weight to it and it’s obvious it was made with quality. Played for hours the first night having it and you can barely tell it was used. 10/10 recommend, and if you want an even better board, get the dual core foam.

nice little board

Big improvement over my previous board in quality and durability. This board is regulation size, and has worn well so far. Like the fact that I can spin the numbers later when the board gets a lot of holes in certain areas (that would be 1 and 5 from all my misses of 20!). Was easy to mount and stabilize in my dart cabinet. Very little wiggle when removing darts. A little on the pricy side, but will make up for that in won beers and side bets with this quality board.

My previous board would bouce darts back if you ever hit the wire. Nearly 2-3% of darts I threw would bounce out. Now my board NEVER bounces my darts out of play. every dart scores. I thank you. My wife thanks you. My cat thanks you. Lastly, but not least, my floor thanks you!

I LOVE THIS BOARD. I am so happy I did my homework and spent a little more than my cheap butt was going to spend. This is a phenomenal board. The darts go in nice and deep and the holes can be rubbed out. The board itself is heavy, solid. Hanging it was easy and I love the adjustable screws on the back that stabilize it against the wall. I am now completely addicted.

Once I decided to upgrade my dart board the search was on to find the best option. The blade 5 was recommended on many forums and the reviews here reiterated that. The features I am most impressed with is the seamless wire design. There are no staples or anything else in the cork. The other, and my favorite feature, is the stabilizers. These three feet keep the board secure. With my last board I would have to push in the board to remove the darts. This board is so much more stable. Its a small thing, but makes a big difference. I am recommending this board to anyone looking to upgrade.

Love this board so far. Received yesterday and had it up and ready in an hour. Installation usually wouldt take this long but had to cut siding on screen porch wall and add a piece of wood to make sure the mount stuck out far enough. This method worked great. I LOVE the adjustable Rota-Lock leveling screws. This prevented me from having to screw at least 3 other pieces of wood into the wall. I can now easily remove the dart board and place inside when not in use. Since humidity is the enemy, this should help it last a bit longer. The leveling system alone is worth the extra $8 to get the Blade 5 board vs. the Diamond Plus board. I played two games of Cricket so far and not a single bounce out. Will update after some time has passed to see how it holds up.

The Blade 5 is an awesome board for the most part BUT at least for me, hasnt held up too well. Im starting to get a lot of bounce outs and even fall outs from any darts that dont enter really solidly. Like when you might not be in top form and your dart comes in at less than full speed and totally straight on etc. It feels like the back layer of sisal has gotten really hard, maybe about 1/4 deep or less from the surface. This pic shows the wear from 6 months of pretty heavy quarantine use...Id say an hour a day averaged out over that time. I was pretty careful with it too in regards to keeping my points burr free. At the end of the day, I think Id only recommend this to you if you told me that you were a casual/infrequent shooter that would keep it a very climate controlled environment (as I sometimes wonder if the salty air where I live has been a factor)? Im gonna try the Dual Core version of this board when I replace it (which will be any day now as Im getting frustrated with the whole thing).
